I finally got rid of that really annoying side bar. yes!! of course now its on the bottom and so it's still not where it's supposed to be, but that's good enough for right now. Does anyone know how to fix it?? Also, the timestamp for the date is wrong sometimes...anyone know how to fix it??

Moussaoui just got life imprisonment today instead of the death penalty. (Article here.) I have to admit that I'm surprised. I thought that he would be found guilty and it would be seen as Bush finally doing somethign about September 11th. After all, we haven't found bin Laden and all we've managed to do is attack an innocent country for a reason fabricated by Bush. However, what the defence argued was true...if Moussaoui was sentenced to death, he would be a martyr for his cause. Also it would spark many legal battles. a.k.a. this situation would keep resurfacing over and over and finally the execution would be a huge deal. It's definately better that he was given life in prison. I am against the death penalty, but also I don't want Bush hiding behind his death and making it look like he's done something towards gaining justice for the people who lost their lives on 9/11.

I'll be gone for about a week and a half. I have so much to do. I'll check back occaisionally but I won't have much time.
